This Native American turquoise heishi necklace showcases natural turquoise nuggets likely a mix of Sleeping Beauty and Kingman turquoise, hand-strung with shell heishi beads in the Santo Domingo / Kewa Pueblo tradition. The vivid sky-blue tones of the Sleeping Beauty turquoise contrast beautifully with the warmer Kingman stones showing golden-tan matrix, creating a balanced Southwestern color story. This two-strand turquoise and shell necklace embodies the artistry of 1970s–1990s Pueblo and Navajo craftsmanship, valued by collectors for its authenticity and impeccable hand-work. Expertly strung on cord with a traditional tie closure, the necklace weighs 82 grams and measures approximately 43 inches end-to-end. Graduated turquoise nuggets add natural dimension, while finely cut shell discs provide movement and symmetry.
